Israeli forces injured in clashes with resistance fighters in West Bank’s Tubas
Casualties have been reported among Israeli forces after Palestinian resistance fighters targeted Israeli military vehicles in the occupied West Bank city of Tubas as fierce clashes are underway between fighters and the regime forces in the area.
The attack took place after Israeli troops stormed the northern West Bank city at dawn on Wednesday, where they surrounded a house and fired antitank grenades.
Israeli media said a helicopter landed inside Beilinson Hospital in Tel Aviv, carrying wounded soldiers who were injured in the Tubas battles.
Heavy clashes broke out following the Israeli military’s incursion, with video footage showing Israeli helicopters transporting the Israeli casualties from Tubas.
Palestinian resistance fighters reported detonating improvised explosive devices (IEDs), as battles intensified with Israeli forces.
Local media also reported heavy gunfire and loud explosions in the city. Images and video clips shared on social media showed clouds of smoke following the explosions.
A freed Palestinian prisoner was killed during the clashes in Tubas.
Deadly drone
At least four young men were also killed when an Israeli drone bombed a group of people in the West Bank town of Tammun, southeast of Tubas.
Israeli forces held the men’s bodies, with he Palestine Red Crescent saying that its crews were prevented from reaching the site of the drone attack.
The latest development came a day after two young Palestinian men were killed by Israeli forces during raids in the West Bank cities of Ramallah and Qalqilya.
Since Israel unleashed a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in early October 2023, casualties have been rising in the West Bank as a result of intensified near-daily raids by the regime troops into Palestinian towns.
A total of 624 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces since the beginning of Israel’s Gaza onslaught.
Nearly 40,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have also been killed in Israeli attacks across the besieged Gaza in the past more than 10 months.
